Handmade soap, is your own DIY do-it-yourself soap. It only requires 3 ingredients such as oil, NaOH, and water. Handmade soap can be used both as a face wash, makeup remover, and for bathing. Handmade soap has a fine, rich lather that thoroughly removes oil and dirt from deep within the pores. Handmade soap contains natural glycerin Glycerin is a moisturizing ingredient that is indispensable in skin care products and cosmetics. In general, large manufacturers of soap will add salt in the manufacturing process, so that glycerin, excess lye, water and soap base separation, and the formation of 100% pure soap soap base. The soap base is then pressed into a beautiful shape by a large machine and sold. Such soaps are ready to use right away, but they lack glycerin, the essence of handmade soap. This is why more and more people prefer handmade soaps, because they contain natural glycerin, and as much as 25% of it, which has an extraordinary moisturizing effect and is very gentle on the skin.　Natural ingredients of your choice You know your own skin type best. If your skin becomes dry, tight or red after using a cleanser or body wash, your skin is protesting and it's time to switch to another product. However, most of the commercially available products have a bunch of chemicals or preservatives that you can't understand. So it's better to DIY your own soap for your skin type, and since you know what's in the soap, you can use it without worrying about what's in it.

Handmade soap is good for the environment Handmade soap is not only gentle on the skin, but also good for the environment. Unlike chemical detergents, handmade soaps are broken down by bacteria into water and carbon dioxide after about 24 hours of contact with water. Therefore, even if it flows into the river or the sea, it will not cause pollution to the environment and will not pose a threat to marine life.　The cleaning task of handmade soap Why does soap have the effect of cleaning grease? It can be analyzed from the chemical structure.　The chemical molecules of soap are made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, and have both "hydrophilic groups" (easily absorbed and combined with other water molecules) and "lipophilic groups" (easily absorbed and combined with other oily substances). When we wash our face, the oleophilic group acts like a mop, quickly dragging away the grease from our face; while the next action of splashing water smoothly combines the hydrophilic group with the water molecules of the splashing water, flushing away the dirt from our face. This is where the cleansing task of soap comes in.　Handmade soaps are also known as "natural cleansing agents", while other cleansing agents made from oils and strong alkalis are called "synthetic cleansing agents". Synthetic cleansing agents are the main culprits in recent years that have caused environmental pollution and wrinkled sensitive skin!　In addition to the above, the process of making handmade soap also brings me a lot of surprises and joys - watching the clear, clarified oil slowly become viscous under the action of the lye, even with the richness of the color changes, the wait after the mold, the sense of accomplishment after the mold is removed, as well as the joy of using their own handmade soap! ...... Handmade soaps have amazing cleaning power and do not damage the skin's stratum corneum at all, because the glycerin contained in them can form a protective film to protect the skin while cleansing dirt. The skin's stratum corneum once the phenomenon of aging, will make the important loss of water, but also the reason why the skin is dry, one of the reasons for wrinkles

Skin adaptation

Some people use cold soaps will appear after the skin dry and rough, small pimples and other similar cosmetic allergies. This may be due to the long-term use of a large number of synthetic surfactants containing chemical cleansers, body lotions, etc. They are not easy to rinse off when washing. They are not easy to rinse off when washing, and although the skin feels smooth after washing, the normal sebaceous membrane of the skin has actually been destroyed over time. When the weak alkaline soap comes into contact with the skin, the sebaceous membrane, which has lost its normal function, is unable to restore the pH balance in a short period of time, which is why it feels dry and tight, and sensitive skin may even excrete toxins and break out in small pimples. Therefore, it is recommended that when you first start using cold soaps, rinse with as much water as possible, gently wipe the skin with a clean towel to absorb the moisture, and then moisturize your skin with a mild (preferably plant-based) lotion or milk. Generally 20-30 days after the skin will adapt to the soap soap, because the skin's renewal cycle is about 28 days
